Good evening everyone. I wanted to get some opinions on one of my mushrooms.

As you can see it's white and seems bleached with some remaining zooxanthellae However, this mushroom grew like this! It was never red to begin with. And if you look closely, immediately underneath it and slightly to the left there are 2 more sprouting that are white as well.
So my question is, can mushrooms grow bleached? Or do I have a color that I'm not aware of since it's white with red spots? Has anyone else seen this before? I can't find any other examples of this out there

Thanks!

That's what I'm thinking. But it seems to be a mixed bag of opinions in other locations I've posted.
I've had mushrooms bleech, but this is often followed by them shrinking dramatically and then falling off the rocks.
